Dark Pattern Score
2/10Straightforward
Score reflects intentional friction: hidden flows, required phone calls, guilt-trip dialogs, and refund opacity. Difficulty to find the service is not included.

Common issues
Will I lose my playlists and downloads after cancelling?
Your playlists are preserved if you keep a free Tidal account. Downloaded tracks are removed since offline listening requires a paid plan.
I subscribed through Sprint/T-Mobile — how do I cancel?
Some Tidal subscriptions are carrier-bundled. Contact your mobile carrier to remove Tidal from your plan. The Tidal website won't show carrier-billed subscriptions.
